I have just recieved my Polk Audio FXi5 surround speakers and wanted to mount them to my wall. It turns out the anchors that I bought to mount the speaker cant support the weight. I can feel the achor already coming out. Can someone give me a link for some good quality anchors to use to mount the polk Audio FXi5 speaker or give me any other solutions. I bought four of these speakers in a 7.1 setup so I doubt that there will be a stud exactly where I want my speakers. If I do find a stud will they easily so I dont have to worry about them falling? I was also planning on using banana plugs but it seems it leaves to much spaces between the wall and the speaker causing the speaker to swivle if I move it left and right. Is anyone using banana plugs on these speakers? Please help my with this problem.

Sorry, I don't have Fxi5's but here's what I recommend.

Remove the speakers from the wall. Goto bed. Wake up. Take screws and anchors to Home Depot or Lowes or your favorite hardware store. Tell them what you're trying to do. Tell them the weight of the speakers. Show them the screws and anchors you're using. Tell them what you're **** it into. If they're worth their salt, they'll come up with a solution. If they insist on wall studs, go to the next hardware store but then if your walls aren't strong enough...

I know some folks mount their FXi's on speaker stands. Use the search function for more info.

Good luck.

don't use banana plugs on FXi5 speakers.. use bare wire. it will sit flat against the wall only if you use bare wire.

I would recommend the Toggle style. You should be able to find this style of anchor at any near by home improvement store. I used two of these to hang a HUGE heavy mirror (60+lbs) without any concern.
